Fodor's Expert Review My Awesome Café

Inside a historic shophouse tucked away on a quiet street, this café-by-day, bar-by-night has all the makings of a hipster hangout. Seated at a table with legs made out of old piping—amid fairy lights and exposed brickwork—you can order fresh salads, sandwiches, or platters, as well as excellent coffees and even better wine. The building was once a well-known free clinic, opened in 1951 by a group of volunteer doctors who wanted to help those who couldn’t afford medical care. Today, My Awesome Café occupies what was then the main waiting room, with the nostalgic décor a nod to that time.
